[@sango_wilko851]

I disagree. I think it could absolutely have an effect on violent crime. If a criminal doesn't have the capability to easily get a weapon, which draconian control measures could cause to happen for many criminals, they are less likely to be able to effect violence on others. With that being said... I don't think it is morally or legally okay to remove the right of a law abiding citizen to legally defend themselves from a potential attacker to provide that potential benefit. I also think when you look at the greater good, removing legal defensive weapon uses as an option makes everybody less safe overall. Especially with the amount of violence that exists in our country.

Notable pieces were a mini-UZI tucked in his pants behind his back, a machete from a vertical sheath above it, and a full-stock, 26" barrel pump shotgun that had been dropped down his pants leg, the stock partway up his torso, and held in place by tightening his belt.

We are coming for your wooden pencils, freedom will be outlawed.

[@LC-vg7wh]

Lynn is a true American and Cold Steel is a great company. I've been buying their products for over 30 years. Thank you sir for your great works of art.

[@JamesEvans-ow1wc]

Gradual chipping away..... Next up they will ban steel knives under a certain size..... then over a certain size......

[@JamesEvans-ow1wc]

HexagramMan lol damn that’s nuts.... But don’t worry, they are flooding the state with South American illegal immigrant gang members... so crime will go down XD

[@SIGSAUER_P320]

and why not?

[@m005kennedy]

What about non self defense use? Are any of these sharp enough to carve a small branch?

[@700NitroXpress]

I've seen a knife made out of hard wood that wound up being almost as sharp as a steel knife. The Democrats can't ban trees.

[@epoxeclipse]

tree bans are coming next.. can't have you making knifes and breathing clean air out of the same low cost solution.

[@isaacmiller7545]

I'm confused, are they sharp?

[@rediculouspeople2310]

Giving up your rights for government protection is fools game.

[@harveybeekerthegreysquirre8262]

How do you sharpen the Plastic if it gets all messed up

[@T.Q.]

Seems like the USA is slowly turning into a nanny state like the UK. Damn.

[@chrispaterson3003]

HAY! At leastvwe don't have school shootings every week. When somthing like that happens here we do stuff about it.

[@cdawson198600]

Chris Paterson we don’t have school shootings every week, it’s not very common and happens a handful of times a year. Our problem isn’t an inanimate object it’s criminals and mentally ill, we used to lock unstable people away from society in institutions now that’s “wrong” so they allow them to just walk around society. We used to execute violent offenders or lock them away and never release them, they now are often released right back onto the streets after bail is payed “drug money”. We didn’t have these issues to this extent a few decades ago, these are recent issues that have started.

[@chrispaterson3003]

You cant argue with zealots lol

[@T.Q.]

Chris Paterson Tell them about the daily stabbings in the UK again, despite the ban on carrying even a pen knife. Tell them how the bad guys always carry them while the good guys are like sitting ducks. Go on.

[@JamesEvans-ow1wc]

Chris Paterson Yup, when you have stabbings everyday.... you import more illiterate Middle Eastern criminals XD you ‘do something’ indeed

[@franknapierala]

Shall not be infringed. That applies to all arms.

[@blackquiver]

I haven't watched a vid of your in a real long time..but when I saw the knife ban..scccreach..hit the brakes..watch the vid..it a stupid law..on,y a criminal will use these tools to hurt a nother person..

[@lincolnstinson1265]

Thanks for another great video. I work in courthouse security in the state of Tennessee where it's legal to carry just about any knife and it is a big concern. But I agree with you whole heartedly a law abiding person should be able to protect themselves and their loved ones and if a strong plastic knife is all you can afford a person should be able to buy it. Love your company , if your looking to expand think about Tennessee. Your products are very popular down here. Happy customer and interested viewer. Lincoln Stinson

[@andraser7]

It’s plastic! Great for kids! Won’t even weigh down their school bags.

[@1AbominAble1]

Who’d circumvent security with a plastic knife when you can use carbidized titanium? It’s also lightweight, rust proof, and durable but it also takes a much Kenner and very durable edge. These great knives that CS makes could be used for self defense but I think that they make much better training tools after the edge has been purposefully dulled and the tip blunted. Keep up the great work Mr. Thompson.

[@tonygotts199]

That whole concept is ridiculous just like in John Wicks movie and kill somebody with a pencil

[@horiaatanasiu3173]

Best knife and weapon company! I love that you fight for your rights.

[@yahwehskid4819]

" AndThey fit in your prison wallet!"😉 LOL I love cold steel and their non metallic knives. That trench knife and karambit are B A!

[@BboyTurok1990]

I'll take the karambit knife anyday.

[@jamesbenedict7206]

Whats a prison wallet?

[@828enigma6]

Will sporks be illegal as well?. Guess folk will have to revert to eating with their fingers. It's gonna get messy.

[@danielb27]

I'm in ny about to order*

[@duanenavarre7234]

you are going on a list, like millions of us, lol.

[@whywouldntwe3]

So would the metal ring welded on make them legal then? Since they are now detectable

[@danieldeming]

Plastic knives are great to put in the shower/bathroom since they don't care about water

[@krknfmkr8919]

That shower knife might have given the girl in Psycho a fighting chance

[@domqwerty200]

Man I love this guy by the way can you sponsor adhds world on KZbin

[@eyeswideopen2536]

Totally agree

[@2222222aaa]

I can’t find the trench knife on cold steel’s website. All I see is a rubber training version of this knife.

[@ChickenChunks]

Pin this comment to stop plastic knives being banned from all cafeterias

[@norecord1138]

Now this is an exceptionally well made video! No pandering and no virtue signaling while placing a passionate emphasis and concern on freedom and rights. I am highly appreciative of the Cold Steel products that I own. "Freedom is not given, It's taken!"

[@gib859]

“The only way to stop a bad man, is a good man, with a GUN” (Shows a selection of knives)

[@robertkywildcats9266]

8:46 I'm so glad these knives are impervious to wind. That's been a huge problem with steel bladed knives.

[@ryank8113]

Would it not be cheaper to embed the same amount of steel into the handles where it could not be removed?

[@robbie.ges069]

I like 🥔
